113-837-410AAL VW Beetle Right Vent Window Post - Aluminum (1958-1964)

Right Vent Window Post (Aluminum) – 113-837-410AAL

The 113-837-410AAL is a vital restoration piece for the 1958–1964 "small window" Beetle. Because the vent window assembly is exposed to moisture every time it rains, the original steel posts are often the first part of the door to deteriorate. This aluminum version offers a permanent solution to corrosion while maintaining the authentic factory aesthetic.

The post serves dual roles: the front edge provides the sealing surface for the pivoting vent wing, while the rear channel holds the felt guide for the main roll-up window. Using this aluminum replacement ensures that both windows operate smoothly and seal tightly against the weather.

Installation & Maintenance Tips

• Seal Replacement: Since the vent window must be completely disassembled to replace the post, this is the best time to install a new Vent Wing Seal and Upright Seal to ensure a leak-free result.

• Felt Channel Prep: Before installing, ensure your Window Guide Felt is properly seated into the rear channel of the post. A small amount of weatherstrip adhesive may be required to keep the felt from sliding down over time.

• Avoid Over-Tightening: When riveting or bolting the post back into the door frame, be careful not to overtighten the fasteners, as aluminum is softer than the original steel and can deform if excessive force is used.
